At camp alone

It is a good time to reflect as I tidy up, put cabins to bed for the winter, make lists for next spring. Considering the economics of our world at the moment, this summer went very well. I cut down on staff as much as possible, actually even more than possible and got by. I relied on friends, family and guests for help, patience and support. As the summer progressed I found out that guests are booking their trips later or even last minute and I can count on that. This allows me to hire a dock boy and do more maintenance next year. 2010 should be great at Viking Island.

For now Jerry is keeping me company. Jerry is the pesky beaver who cut the internet phone cable and continues to deforest the island. He even knawed a part of the dock to make his pathway a little neater. Each morning I find his latest handywork but never catch him at it.

He is the extreme logger of Viking Island.
